First Dream Job, Ticked Off!
Submitted by: Queen B
An achiever.
I graduated from college with a prestigious degree, with the high hopes of getting a good job. However, about two years after graduating, I still had never landed a job. I had never liked my course and absolutely disliked the job field I was supposed to work in. It was during this time that I was frustrated about my future because I did not know what to do with my life. I was feeling suicidal because of the social pressure. I felt worthless, irrespective of the fact that I had actually already achieved so much in my life.
That was when I got to know about the law of attraction. Needless to say, I was stunned by the simple truths Rhonda had explained in The Secret. To me, going through the book felt like attaining enlightenment. I felt so relieved knowing that I would never have a worry in my life anymore.
I created a list of things I wanted at that time. A dream job was one of those things. Keep in mind, my definition of a dream job changed over time. But at that time, this was the most creative job I could come up with in my imagination. I came up with some very good attributes.
I must highlight that even though I knew all about the LOA, I never felt I was capable of achieving this dream job. Being unemployed for years does that to you. What I scripted was a perfect job but I did not really believe that I had a chance at it. Who was going to recruit me with no experience? Because the job I wanted required some specific experience. Anyway, I kept writing about it every day. I edited it and updated the content so many times.
After a few months, one of my contacts made me aware of a job. It was somewhat like the job that I wanted. But just as I believed they would, they had asked for my experience. I applied for it only because my contact had asked me to. I never gave any thought to it after I applied because I did not think I was ever going to be employed in this lifetime.
Somehow, after a few months, to my surprise they actually contacted me. I did a few interviews with them too. But I quickly forgot about those interviews because I honestly did not think I stood a chance at getting it. So I was kind of letting it go.
Then lo and behold, I got selected! At that time, for me, it was just about becoming employed but this job also came with a good salary!
Then came the actual working part. That was when I realized that this was actually the job I had really wanted! It totally matched my skills and interests. I joined the best team with the most amazing coworkers, had the kindest mentors, and I was so happy and so relaxed in the job. For the first time in my life, I actually liked working. I totally improved myself thanks to that job. It was actually the ladder that has helped me to upgrade to match with my next dream job. I will write about that in a separate story.
So this is my story about my first dream job. I, who never believed that I was lucky enough to land a job, landed a job that I absolutely loved. It was everything I had scripted. It paved so many paths for me in my life. I am so grateful to the Universe. I am so grateful to Rhonda, and for everybody else who helped me become who I am today. Thank you so very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
